>> Hmmm...my Mayo report says that fluvoxamine is metabolized by 2D6. I have just done some googling--trusted sources say that it is metabolized by 2D6 but also by 1A2 and 3A4--perhaps the main thing is the multiple pathways, and the fact that it doesn't inhibit 2D6, unlike the other SSRIs. Inhibition is the key for me. It renders me a poor metabolizer.
Quick rection, not much time: they used to think that fluvoxamine was metabolized by 2D6. More recent research has shown that most probably 2D6 is not involved in its metabolization at all. Coul give you research link later.
